I have been an Iowa fan for 60 years. I remember Don Nelson on a team that most of the players were declared ineligible almost beat a great Ohio State team. Enter Ralph Miller from Witchita. Puts together a team that wins the Big Ten 14-0 averages over 100 ;points a game and if Burrows doesnt tip that last shot in maybe NC. I remember Dick Schultz in early 70s nice guy couldn't recruit nice guy. Enter an unknown Lute Olsen. Takes a team to final 4 and if Lester doesn't get hurt maybe farther. Raveling in 83. Recruits Marble Armstrong Gamble and Horten and then Tom Davis takes over and has a number 1 team that makes a great run in the tournament
Yes we have hired some losers like Lick but even Alford won championships and made the tournament
Sure if we change coaches we may get a loser especially with Barta making the choices but we are never going anywhere with McCaffrey. No championships 5 tournaments with big wins over teams like Temple, Davidson and Grand Canyon Never making the sweet 16. This team is going nowhere and why would you expect better next year. Any Power 5 program but Iowa and he would have been gone by now (see Maryland)
I will always be an Iowa fan but never a part of a fan base that is content with what Iowa has achieved under McCaffrey
PS Hayden Fry took over a football team that had not won in 20 years and made them an exciting winning championship team that put us on the national scene and it is a lot harder to do that in football than it is in basketball
